3.8 Balance shaft question

Recommended Posts

so as you all know, I'm gonna be doin' my HG's soon - but I'm curious about something ... I'm figuring while I'm in there, I might do the timing chain too - so here's my question ...

 

what's all involved in removing the balance shaft ...

 

I don't need the long version ... just the quick version ... here's how I see it...

 

either A) Pull the timing set, remove gear from balance shaft - put new timing set on (leaving the non-functioning balance shaft in place)

 

or B) remove the timing set, balance shaft, balance bottom end, put it all back together without the balance shaft at all.

 

if it's A ... then I'll do it - but if it's any more complicated then A, I'll skip it for now.

Do A. It's much easier and won't affect anything.

 

Sounds good! Thanks for the quick reply!

 

Also, thanks for the pic in the other thread.
